Best Buy! Melissa Sanborn and Mike Pearson continue to develop their estate wine program in the historic Lewis-Clark Valley, but they pull from Sawtooth Vineyard — Idaho’s most important site — for this delicious, food-friendly Chardonnay. Aromas of lemon oil, orange zest, white peach and white pine pitch lead to a balanced drink of Asian pear, jasmine and more lemon oil. Its two months of partial fermentation in neutral French oak adds texture to serve alongside a bowl of butternut squash soup at their wine bar/restaurant in downtown Juliaetta, Idaho.
